Residential Electrician in Charleston, SC
SouthTech Electric was built on residential work, and we still do it. New construction wiring, whole-home rewiring, lighting, and repairs for homes throughout Mount Pleasant, Isle of Palms, Sullivan's Island, and greater Charleston.
Owner Jesse Cilluffo oversees residential projects personally. The standard is simple: the work we would want in our own home.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do you still take residential work?
- Yes. Residential electrical is a core part of what we do, and we continue to serve homeowners throughout the Lowcountry alongside our commercial clients.
- Do you work on historic homes?
- Yes. Older Charleston-area homes require particular care around existing construction, and we have extensive experience rewiring them safely without unnecessary demolition.
- Can you install an EV charger at my home?
- Yes. EV charger installation typically involves a dedicated circuit and sometimes a panel upgrade, depending on your existing service capacity. We assess both as part of the estimate.
